Terms & Conditions

GUIDE FOR BUYERS:

We advise all bidders to read the Terms and Conditions of the Sale as set forth in this catalog. Those who bid are bound by those Terms and Conditions of the Sale, as amended by any oral announcement or posted notices, which together form the contract of the sale between the successful bidder (purchaser), ML Coin Auctions and the seller (consignor) of the lot.

Terms of Sale:
When bidding on any lot offered by ML Coin Auctions, the bidder indicates acceptance of the following Terms of Sale:


Condition of Items
ML Coin Auctions makes every effort to accurately describe all items offered in its sales, however all items for sale are “as is,” and it is the bidder’s responsibility (present or absentee bidders) to determine the exact condition of each item. ML Coin Auctions will not be held responsible for typographical errors. All items will be available for preview prior to the auction.



Rights & Responsibilities
The auctioneer will determine the highest bidder. The auctioneer alone has the right to reopen the bidding of an item if deemed necessary due to a dispute. ML Coin Auctions and its representatives reserve the right to remove those attendees who impede the previews and/or the auction. Title to all merchandise shall pass to the highest bidder at the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer. The buyer will then assume all risk and full responsibility of the lot purchased once ownership has changed.


Post-Sale Return Policy:
Every effort is made to insure those descriptions are accurate and that they fully disclose any exceptions to condition. Buyers who wish to report a problem with a purchase they have made must notify ML Coin Auctions within three (3) days of receipt of their purchased item. If a return is authorized by ML Coin Auctions, the item in question must be shipped, with full insurance, so it arrives in ML Coin Auctions’ possession within one week of the aforementioned authorization.
With respect to all returns, it is the buyer’s responsibility to cover the cost of shipment and insurance, regardless of the reason for the return. ML Coin Auctions will NOT reimburse shipping costs to buyers who return auction goods.
Return Fees. A 5% restocking fee ($10 minimum) will be charged to all returned auction items.


All merchandise must be paid for within FIVE days of the date of sale-no exceptions. We reserve the right to cancel any unpaid order at that time and void the bidder from future sales. Absolutely NO returns will be accepted on any item that was not paid for/and or returned to ML Coin Auctions within 10 days of the sale date (see above for other return qualifications).


Buyer’s Premium
A 15% buyer’s premium will be added to all successful bids and is payable by the purchaser as part of the total purchase cost. Credit card & Pay Pal accepted for purchases up to $10,000.00.
